Issyk Kul Secondary School offers full eleven-year education to Kyrgyz students.

At Issyk Kul Secondary School, children are accepted to first grade at the age of six or seven, depending on the child's individual development.

They are taught, ideally, by a single teacher through all four elementary grades (except for physical education and foreign languages).

Students are graded on a five-step scale, ranging in practice from 2 ("unacceptable") to 5 ("excellent"); 1 is a rarely used sign of extreme failure.

[9] Currently there are not enough school textbooks in Uzbek and the Kyrgyz government is unwilling to provide them, claiming that it does not have enough funds.

As Kyrgyz officials strongly oppose the use of textbooks printed in Uzbekistan, currently the majority of Uzbek schoolchildren in Kyrgyzstan, including the students of Issyk Kul Secondary School study in Uzbek using Kyrgyz textbooks.
